unregistered 9 mm handgun

They should provide more detail: "unregistered Glock AK-47 fully-automatic pump action assault pistol".

I have a question about what is “registered gun.” I have a couple of handguns and a shotgun in my house. I filled out the forms for a background check when I purchased them. Does that mean my guns are registered?

You forgot “high-powered”.

[smokingfrog]

no

There is no way I’d go to a high crime area, like DC, unless I was armed.

It is my RIGHT.

It is your right - both a God-given human right and a constitutionally protected legal right - but firearms are for all practical purposes illegal in DC. Go there with one and you can expect to be arrested if you use it to shoot a democratic voter in self-defense and are unable to escape from the police afterwards. Carry a flamethrower instead; it's legal and emotionally satisfying.

[Dead Corpse]

I’m a beefy critter, but toting around a flame thrower all day seems unnecessary.

My 10mm is big enough as it is.

Have yet to have anyone swoon/die/call the cops when they noticed my weapon on my hip - heck, have shot the breeze with a number of folks with the weapon never becoming part of the topic.

Added bonus: you'll never have to converse with a hoplophobic liberal again. They won't come within a country mile of you!
